Nagasaki while praying for rain is not
in the midst of parched and cracking rice
fields like poor Corea, and the air is never
dry. The air is heavy with moisture now
and when the thermometer is registering
80 degrees the hydrometer surpasses it
in proportion, and there is steamy
green house temperature that encourages
the growth Of the 100 varieties of ferns
that amatuer botanists collect on these

sights of the empire were just over the
hill, one could miss them rather than ever
think of the exertion of going to see
them. 1t is quite enough to sit still and
mop ones face, and tanning is too much
of an exertion to be thought of. This is
the weather when every thing mildews,
and the boots taken off at night will be
covered with green mold in the morning,
when gloves CONCEAL into solid Jumps of

RAILROADITEMS.

The total mileage of railway in the
United states has, according to a leading
railroad journal, almost doubled in the
last thirteen years.
1t is stated that one fifth the entire
mileage of new railroad building done in
this country in the last year, has been
done in the state of Kansas.
1t is estimated that in one year in the
city of Chicago there have been over two
hundred deaths, and one thousand injur-
les resulting from railroad accidents.
The paper car wheel was the invention
OF 9 locomotive engineer. His first set
OF wheels were made at Brandon, Vermont
In 1869. His first attempt to introduce
them was greeted with ridicule, but in a
short time there were thousands of paper
wheels N use and they have proved more
durable than iron.
The guarantee of a chilled wheel is
thirty-fve thousand miles, while wheels
of other material GU ranteed to do great
or service, as the paper wheel, cost from
forty five to sixty dollars each. Here is
a demand for material adapted to the
condition of car-wheel service that shall
give much greater wear than the chilled
wheel. and not be AS expensive as the
paper wheel.

Why Women Take to the Stage.
Lippincott's Magazine.


People say, "How can g well-brought-
up woman so far forget as to go on the
staGe?"
do not propose here to defend the
stage-though it has been as good a
friend to me-but I will endeavor to
prove, by logical sequence of events,
that for woman who has to earn her
own living, and has any talent for it. it is
the only profession that offers anything
like adequate remuneration.
No other profession is so we'll paid.
Even in the lowest ranks of stage work
the pay is sufficient to live on comfortab
ly, and allow margin for dress and saw
ing. chorus singer will earn SIS a
week, where gOverness will earn barely
81, and a shop girl Sc to s.
In England a gentlman would rather
die than go to store. 1t is not genteel!
She can not be telegraph clerk, for the
same reason. The only genteel things
she can do are to teach or be a compan-
ion; and a woman who has no taste for
either of these detachable occupations,
turns to the stage as to a mother, and
finds there the ready employment she
can get no where else.
On the stage she has the hope of get
ting on and making fortune, and, above
all, she finds herself among people who
are willing to receive her with open arms
| If she is pleasant. Here are no restrict
tons of purse or caste. All are her
brothers and sisters, and it lies with her
alone wether her new family shall re-
spect and look up to her, or pass her
down sadly to those poor silly ones who
have missed the nobility of their aim and
sacrifice all for short life of foolish.
merriment.
No wonder that poor girls of the bet
ter classes go on the stage. when they
see how much is to be done there, and
then regard spassionately the few
other modes of earning a livelihood.

CONCERNING OLD AGE.
The Influence of Habits, Conduct and Thought
ON Longevity.


Young people frequently look upon
aged persons with pity, and think OF
them as deprived of most things that
make life desirable. Yet, as a general
rule, old people cling to life as earnestly
as any others, and that, too, not merely
as shrinking from what lies beyond
death, but for the mere pleasure of liviL g
They are cut off, to be sure, from some
sources of enjoyment which they once
had, but others are open to them. The
ambition is less keen, and the cares OF
life bring less anxiety than they once
did. There is even certain satisfaction
in receiving that respect for age which
is paid to them by younger people, in
accordance with an impulse which is as
universal as it is noble. To youths hope
makes the future bIight-brighter often
than events will make them; to the aged
memory makes the whole past, stripped
of it's gloomier features and filled with
pleasant pictures, part of the unchang-
ing present.
Our inherited constitution has much to
do with the length of our lives. The
late Mrs. Cleveland Clark, who died in
Springfield, Mass, not long ago at the
age of one hundred and two, was an ill
ustratlOn Of this fact. She is reported
to have enjoyed life greatly to the very
lasl, and maintained constant and hap
Ply interest in all the affairs of the world
Her father lived to be over ninety, and
her mother almost attained the age of
one hundred and five. She leaves a
brother who is over ninety, and sister
Of ninety seven. Rev. Charles Cleveland,
long known in Boston as city mission
airy, member OF tae same Cleveland
family, died only a few days short of
one-hundred.
Such cases are not merely the result of
chance. sitting process is going on
all the time. The weakest are sifted out
in infancy and early childhood, and while
strength does not insure a child or youth
against death, it is usually the stronger
who survive. Long -lived heredity is not
simply physical tendency to live. It is
also tendency to the habits of life, con-
duct and thought that preserve con-
stitutional v:gor, and hold in check or
eradicate whatever might hamper natures
recuperative power.
This suggests the practical lesson we
would enforce. By the voluntary cultiva-
ton of good habits those who have reach
ed, say the age of thirty, in sound health,
may hope to live to a good and happy
old age

THE YANKEE VOLUNTEER
II. B. DUNN.

We all have heard the story,
Borne now on every breeze,
OF the bonnie Scottish Thistle
That blew across the seas.
Bringing the breath of heather,
The breath of Highland Hill,
And memory of old romance
Our western world to THRILL
We love the canpy Scots land,
We love her m fountain crown,
We love her Lowland valleys,
Her Edinboro town:
We know the ta-e Of Bannockburn,
We've read of Wallace wight.
And how the dead heart of tue Bruce
Won at Granada's fight.
But when this bonnie Thistle down
Comes floating over here,
To meet upon our western seas
A Yankee Volunteer.
We think that Scottish men mayhap
Marched on that other day,
When Yankee volunteers were out
OF old, up Concord wayl
That sacred breath Of liberty
A tiny zephyr then
Has grown into a mighty wind
That shakes the souls of men:
And when we launch our Volunteer
On this wide western sea,
From every old-world prejudice
We shake her canvas freel
With purest creed and broadcast faith,
With human freedom dear
To every heart by right divine
We freight our Volunteer;
A strain of stubborn scottish blood
Flows yet our We ms within,

That only fights to winl

A man named Clarence Anderson was
arrested in Barnes street saloon, in
Trenton yesterday, on warrant issued
at the instance of Peter Katzenbach, of
the Trenton House. Anderson was in
toxicated, and Mr.. Katzenbach had him
taken into custody simply because he
knew that he had a large sum of money
on his person and was likely to squander
or lose it. Anderson is a Philadelphia
druggist living at present in Borden
town. At the Station House a package
of money with bank mark "$1, 000'
was found upon him, and also two 300
bills and one $50 bill. The one thou
sand dollar package contained only
$780, 1t was said that Anderson had
come to Trenton with 50, 600 to purchase
drug store, and the police imagined
that between $500 and $500 of his mon
ey had already been squandered. Re-
latives who had been summoned from
Bordentown. said that he had left home
with only 81 $50, so that all that was
gone was the $40 ont of the 81 900 pack
age and some loose money with which
he was provided. He was taken home
before dark.--[State Gazette.

Novel Reading. One of tho most vicl-
GUS habits in which people now indulge
especially those Of small mental calibre--
is the reading of fiction. And this, too,
generally, of the lowest and most un-
wholesome kind. The tendency of novel;
reading is two-fold. First, 1t creates an
immoderate use, aud a craving, unsatis-
fed desire for more. Second, 1t has a
prcncous tendency. It is like a bad
habit, the more INDUCED, the worse 1t
becomes. And the worse it becomes, the
more vile is the fiction required to satisfy
the excited imagination, until nothing
short of the blood and thunder, love-and-
murder style of novel will satisfy the de-
PRAYED mind.
The consequences of indulging the inn
agination in such vicious reading are most
fatal How debauching to the mind, and
most of all to that noble faculty, the i'm
agination-to be almost necessarily read
ing works that decorate vice, that picture
the ungodly as truly happy, that repre-
sent piety as mean, or profanity as noble,
that picture the religious as fools or by
pocrites, that hold up some old painted
bag as an object of alteration.
One who reads fiction In this indiscrim.
mate manner--and most novel-readers
do--is mentally and morally the same as
one fed upon sweet-meats, of not very
robust nature. Such novel.readers are
generally of the pusillanimous, namby-
PANTY, effeminate specimens of humanity.
Weigh them in the balances of litera-
ture, and o, such small talk They have
but little conception of what is grand, no.
BILE and soul-inspiring. o novel-reader
throw away your trash, and lay hold of
the grand masterpieces of English litera-
ture. Take that illustrious company Of
poets, beginning with Chaucer that
"Well of English undeflled," and follow
down the list with Spencer, Dryden,
Shakespeare, Milton, Pope, Goldsmith,
Thomson, Hood, Moore, Byron, Burns,
Cowper, and almost score of others to
Tennyson, and peruse them with glowing
enthusiasm, and see what joy and plea
sure you will receive.

Country: its Possible Future and It's Pres
